Abstract

The PRRD has recognized waste as a potential social, environmental, and economic resource, and a LFG utilization project provides a sustainable return on investment for the local community. The LFG Utilization Assessment provides discussion of revenue generation opportunities, environmental, and social benefits from utilization of LFG and the sale of carbon credits. While numerous options are considered, the three preferred options were evaluated based on economics, environmental impacts, and social impacts. Project economics were evaluated via a Life Cycle Cost Analysis. Environmental impacts were evaluated based on greenhouse gas emission offset potential. Social impacts were evaluated based on the expected benefit to and/or impact on local residents. The most attractive LFG utilization option for the Site for all criteria presented above is compression and piping of LFG to a natural gas extraction well. This has the greatest potential to provide a favorable economic return, and maximize environmental benefits of the LFG utilization options noted. iii

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
